The Missouri legislative session is in full swing and today we talk about MCU-backed bills to remove lead from school drinking water and expand expungement access for the formerly incarcerated. We also take a look at redistricting fights and the attempt to roll back Medicaid expansion. Our guests are J-MO, Organizer & Lead Campaign Strategist for MCU, and Allyn Harris Dault, a leader with the MCU Legislative Task Force.
